Description:
Restoration of two merchant premises from the 1830-ies, each consisting of a wharf, originally facing the sea, with a connection to the merchant's house with shops facing the street and a terraced garden, according to the traditional pattern in Stavanger. Revitalization included an open square in front of the mansion, which necessitated the demolition of serial warehouses. The conversion of the wharves to the nes uses caused technical equipment and the redevelopment of the back yard to a central hall with lifts and stairs. The restored buildings serve now as maritime historic and mercantile museum.
